Chappell Hadlee Series Game 3: New Zealand v Australia @ Hamilton (Tue D/N)

[JUBJUB]

Exactly how did Tuffey force his way into the NZ WC squad?

Do NZ have an Maori/Islander quota ?
It's the only reason I can think why he's got a game.Even Tait gives away less runs.

 

[SorryIHammerChicken]

Looks like we came to play for this one, are the boundaries here short?

 

[DIG]

Aust 0/64 in the 12th.

No extras - 30 runs Watson and Hayden 34.

Why do so many bag Hayden out? Since he made that first ton, he's made a lot of runs opening.

Good to see Watson getting some time in the middle, he needs it.

 

[Jaymin]

Watson out.

His evil twin Shaun Watson is out there now!

 

[JUBJUB]

are the boundaries here short?

Yes
It's an Adelaide Oval type ground.The commentators said Mike Hussey mentioned at the toss that he was suprised at the ground because it is actually a cricket venue.Most other NZ grounds are thugby venues.

Fox Sports should have a ticker in the bottom corner and it ticks over everytime a commentator says "Wee bit".I reckon they'd be up to 25 now.

0/75 after 14

Bout time they played Watson where is should be played every game.

 

[SorryIHammerChicken]

Watson, where have you been? Always saves his best for the dead rubber. Helps that he's playing in position though - he's more suited to the opening role but can up the ante once he's settled.

 

[TorresIsGod]

His evil trin Shaun Watson is out there now!

At least Shaun can play cricket, that hack Shane is useless

He's been batting at 7. That's why...

 

[DIG]

Watson 42 off 39??

but...but...but i thought watson was an absolute hack who couldn't score quickly!!

 

[Jaymin]

If Watson is ever to make runs it would have to be today.

NZ best two bowlers are out and he has all innings to fiddle fart around.

He has fiddle farted hismelf to 48 off 43 balls...

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Watson 42 off 39??

but...but...but i thought watson was an absolute hack who couldn't score quickly!!

He's a hack batting @ 7.

If you throw enough **********, eventually some will stick.

It's a dead rubber, any scores and wickets are useless..

He still is a hack

Exactly how did Tuffey force his way into the NZ WC squad?

When Kyle Mills was ruled out for a year with a knee injury, he was the next in line.

Not quite sure how Tuffey got to the front of the queue though, having not played a ODI in 2 years. Andre Adams had played more recently, although not very successfully. Chris Martin is contracted and took 2 wickets in his last two ODIs, albeit again some time ago.

 

[demon21]

Good to see Watson getting some runs if u bat him in the right position thats what he will do.

 

[Benny_]

Australia will get 400 here. Score 120 of the last 10 overs. They are cruising.

 

[markstaners]

Has there been any extras yet?

 

[DIG]

You say that now DC, but you'll draft him in the WC game...deep down you KNOW you will!

 

[statsman74]

That's crap. Of course Voges etc wouldn't complain about playing too much cricket, because they don't. But Gilly is a permanent fixture in both the one dayers and the Tests. As you know, cricket schedules are jam packed, and players often comment that it can become a bit too much. This 'enjoy every minute or retire' business is idealistic nonsense that fails to understand where the cricketers are coming from.

World Cup Squad Members - ODI's since the last world cup (not including no-result matches, or today)

Clarke 95 - currently injured
Ponting 95 - currently injured
Symonds 95 - currently injured
Gilchrist 92 - currently expecting a baby but tired
Lee 81 - currently injured

Hogg 65
Hayden 63
Hussey 59
McGrath 56
Bracken 45
Watson 31
Haddin 16
Johnson 16
Hodge 12
Tait 3

So...maybe that rotation policy needs to be ramped up, not down

 

[Gets!]

I got $370 on the Aussies at 2 to 1.

 

[NWTYRX]

Has there been any extras yet?

not as yet, no

 

[TorresIsGod]

You say that now DC, but you'll draft him in the WC game...deep down you KNOW you will!

I will pick players from Scotland, Netherlands, Zimbabwe, Canada, Bangladesh and Bermuda before I pick Shane Watson, he has no chance of getting in my side

 

[Jaymin]

I got $370 on the Aussies at 2 to 1.

For this game or the World Cup?

 

[Gets!]

For this game or the World Cup?

This game.

Logged into my IASbet account and forgot I had that money in there and saw the aussies at 2 to 1, couldnt pass it up.
